Invisalign
Invisalign is an almost invisible option to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. It uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove the aligners before eating and drinking, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces. And this technology is also more convenient, since you are likely to spend less time in our office getting adjustments.
We’re pleased to offer our patients Invisalign. Once Dr. Lord develops a custom prescription for your mouth, Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired final positioning. This 3-D imaging allows us to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. Custom-made aligners are created based on the imaging information. Each of these aligners moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about 2 weeks. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position prescribed. Typically, you will visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 6-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Not every situation can be treated with Invisible Aligners as not all patients are candidates, so call us for a free evaluation to see if you can be helped with this new technology.
